Good evening my name is Dr Richard Curtis I'm
a professor of philosophy here in town and I did my Ph D.
With colleagues of Dr Griffin in Claremont California Dr Griffin is the author of
eleven books questioning various aspects of the official nine eleven myth and has
written or edited dozens of others in his long and distinguished career since two
thousand and four Dr Griffin has been known as the dean of nine eleven studies and
the conscience of the nine eleven truth movement. He is
a courageous and tenacious fighter for truth justice and reason for his talk
tonight nine eleven why do Bill Moyers and Robert Perry believe in miracles
please welcome me now welcome back to Seattle Dr David Ray Griffin
are
as it has now been almost ten years since the nine eleven attacks.
A few people from the beginning started saying that the official like out of the
attacks according to which they were carried out by foreign Muslims in other
countries was faults and that nine eleven was an inside job carried out by people
in agencies in our own government and emerging movement to make this case came to
be called the nine eleven truth movement. This movement argued from the beginning
that nine eleven was
a false flag attack designed to allow the Bush Cheney administration and its
Pentagon to attack Afghanistan and then Iraq but most of the traditional
anti-war journalists such as Noam Chomsky George Monbiot Norman Solomon
and Matt Taibbi. Along with the riders that counterpunch in these times the nation
Mother Jones the progressive and Democracy Now did not endorse the nine eleven
truth movement most of them in fact attacked it. In the first years to be sure
we did not have
a very impressive membership and their movement had few professionals in the
relevant disciplines such as physics architects architecture and engineering but
in two thousand and five physics professor Stephen Jones started explaining why the
World Trade Center buildings could not have come down without explosives due to
some books and coverage by C.-Span professional organizations began to form
including Architects and Engineers for nine eleven Truth by now we have
a dozen professional organization including firefighters for nine eleven truth
intelligence officers for nine eleven Truth journalists eleven Truth medical
professionals for nine eleven Truth military officers for nine eleven Truth
political leaders for nine eleven Truth religious leaders for nine eleven Truth
scientists for nine eleven Truth and veterans for nine eleven Truth the nine eleven
truth movement is now very impressive in both science and professional membership
progressive journalists in general have not availed themselves of the evidence
provided by the nine eleven truth movement to argue against the legitimacy of the
so-called war on terror if any major journalist could have been expected to do
so it would have been Bill Moyers. His two thousand and seven programme on the
secret government exposed the ways in which presidents have deceived the people to
promote war and another two thousand and seven program buying the war
showed that the media instead of exposing truths that could have prevented the war
and Iraq served as cheerleaders. However while driving home the
fact that the media failed to expose Saddam Hussein's lack of weapons
of mass destruction Maurier's failed to expose Osama bin Laden's lack of
responsibility for the nine eleven attacks. And then in two thousand and eleven
he attacked the nine eleven truth movement after criticizing Rush Limbaugh and Fox
News for providing dissent from Asian that undermines the truth needed for
democratic self-government more years added. This information is not unique to the
right like other journalists I have been the object of malevolent assaults from the
nine eleven Truth hers for not reporting their airtight case proving that the Bush
administration conspired to bring about the attacks on the World Trade Center. And
speaking about this airtight case Moyers was of course using sarcasm considering
this case anything but airtight in fact he said that the truth
having no real evidence simply cherry picked
a few supposed anomalies to build an inside job story line.
In criticizing this case Maurier's was paraphrasing. Independent Journalist
Robert Perry who said lacking any real evidence to the truth is have built their
case on alleged anomalies in the collapse of the buildings and drawing on Perry.
Maurier's appeal to one of the best of the end append journalists. Given Perry's
commitment to truthful journalism combined with his awareness that the October
surprise became relegated to the status of bogus conspiracy theory only because of
lying politicians and careless and dishonest journalist we would have expected him
to engage in meticulous reporting about the nine eleven truth movement to dissent
from the official story about the nine eleven attacks we would've expected
him to be suspicious of the official like out because it was provided by the Bush
Cheney administration which is now known to have lied about Iraq.
And we would have expected Perry to be even more suspicious about the official
story of nine eleven because the chief of the lying politicians in the October
surprise case Lee Hamilton served as the Democratic co-chair of the nine
eleven Commission Moreover Perry could have learned in
a book on the commission by New York Times writer Philip Shenon that Hamilton is
duplicitous ways continued in his new role. Hamilton together
with Republican co-chair Thomas Kane appointed Philip Zelikow to be the
commission's executive director. Even so that like our was essentially
a member of the Bush White House Hamilton also with Cain concealed from the
staff the fact that Cal had written
a detailed outline of the commission's final report complete with chapter headings
headings and headings before the staff even had its first meeting.
For all of these reasons we would expected Perry as well as more years to have done
good reporting about the nine eleven attacks but instead used bad reporting to
attack the nine eleven truth movement claims that nine eleven was an inside job
both Moyers and Kerry as we saw earlier said that truth had rejected the official
account of nine eleven on the basis of alleged or supposed anomaly
anomalies coming from the word normals refers to occurrences that are exceptions
to the norms rules or regularities in saying that the nine eleven Truth Movement
speaks of supposed or alleged anomalies in the collapse of the World Trade Center
Moyers and Perry were saying that the official account according to which the
buildings were brought down by the airliners and the resulting fires contained no
real anomalies no exceptions to the regularities of physics and chemistry
no miracles. In truth the official account of the destruction of the World Trade
Center contains many anomalies and some of them are so obviously
and violently contrary to the laws of science that they must be called
miracles and so far as Moyers and Piri in-doors the official account of the
destruction of the World Trade Center they accept all of these miracles I will
point out six of them first. When people talk about the World Trade
Center they usually have in mind the Twin Towers but
a third building came down that day
a forty seven story building two blocks from the Twin Towers World Trade Center
seven. Which came down at five twenty one in the afternoon. Many
people have not even known that building seven came down because it was seldom if
ever shown on television after that first day and it was not even mentioned
in the nine eleven Commission's report. Why this silence
on the one hand scientists working for the government needed to say in accord with
the claim that the nine eleven attacks were engine ired by al-Qaeda terrorists but
the World Trade Center was not destroyed by explosives but was entirely destroyed
by the airliner crash. And the resulting fire
on the one hand it was hard for the government scientist to give this explanation
for building seven because it was not hit by
a plane. It seemed that the building must have been brought down by
a fire alone. But fire had never brought down
a building of this type New York Times reporter James Glanz calling the collapse of
Building seven mystery said experts said no building like that
a modern steel reinforced high rise had ever collapsed because of an uncontrolled
fire worse yet for the if official account. The fact that Building
seven was not hit by
a plane meant that there was no jet fuel to ignite big fires throughout the
building. There were not many fires and the one what they were were not very big.
Trying to make building seven seem similar to the Twin Towers defenders of the
official account suggested that flaming debris from the collapse of the North Tower
ignited diesel fuel stored in the building turning buildings into
a towering infernal so hot that its steel beams and columns were weakened Fema
which wrote the first official report about the World Trade Center called this it's
best I part us it's. But Fema at it this hypothesis had
only
a low probability of occurrence. Which of course is scientific speak
for there's no way that could have happened. Popular
Mechanics nevertheless promoted this hypothesis telling its readers that the
official report by nest the National Institute of Standards and Technology
would say that building seven's diesel fuel had fed the fires for up to seven hours
. And its second effort to make building seven's collapse similar to that of the
Twin Towers Popular Mechanics said that although this building was not hit by
a plane it was far more compromised by falling debris than the
fema report indicated. Popular Mechanics thereby intended
to refute the nine eleven truth movement to claim that the official account is
implausible by virtue of pre-trained building seven as the only steel framed high
rise to have come down because of fire alone so they are saying it wasn't
just from fire alone it was from this enormous. Destruction of the much of the
building however when ist finally released its building seven report in
two thousand and eight it had rejected Popular Mechanics two fold explanation in
terms of diesel fuel and structural damage NIST said fuel oil
fires did not play
a role in the collapse of World Trade Center seven. NIST also said other than
initiating the fires in World Trade Center seven the damage from the debris from
the North Tower had little effect building seven said NIST report was
the first known instance to fire causing the total collapse of the tall building
NIST there buying said exactly what Popular Mechanics had assured its readers NIST
would not say. So therefore if World Trade Center seven was brought down by fire
without the aid of explosives this was definitely an anomaly. If more
isn't Piri endorse the official view of this building do they not there by
endorse a miracle. I turn now to
a second anomaly which even more clearly violates the laws of science.
Building seven collapsed symmetrically meaning that it came straight down.
How being an almost perfectly horizontal roof line. In order for this
metrical collapse to occur all eighty two of the steel columns supporting the
building had to fail simultaneously. It is difficult to
imagine how this symmetry could have resulted without explosives perhaps
people may think that if the building had been entirely engulfed by fire so that
the fire with the metrical all eighty two of its columns might have failed
simultaneously producing
a symmetrical collapse history teaches however that it is impossible
for fire to cause
a steel framed building to collapse. It would have been even more obviously
impossible for the fires of building seven being on only
a few floors to have produced
a symmetrical collapse to believe these asymmetrical fires produced
a symmetrical collapse would be to believe in
a miracle. The fire also could not explain the sudden onset of buildings
collapse even if we believe that the fire could have caused the steel to lose its
strength the fire would have weakened the steel gradually causing it to
start sagging but they did not one moment the building was
perfectly immobile the next moment as videos show it was coming down at
full speed as Australian scientist Frank
a leg had observed there is no sign of
a slow start that would be expected if collapse was caused by the gradual softening
of the steel. These two characteristics of buildings collapse the symmetrical
pattern and the sudden onset or characteristics of
a controlled implosion in which incendiaries and explosives are used to
slice the building steel support columns so as to cause the building to cause
straight down the reason to implode
a building rather than simply causing it to fall over sideways is to avoid damaging
nearby buildings engineering an implosion in the words of
a controlled demolition website is by far the trickiest type of explosive project
which only
a handful of blasting companies in the world possess experience to perform.
Mark Laws old the president of Controlled Demolition Incorporated has explained why
. To bring
a building down so no other structure is harmed the demolition must be completely
planned using the right explosives and the right pattern of laying the charges
if Moyers and Piri hold that building seven came down without the aid of explosives
. Then they are stuck with the conclusion that scattered fires in this building
produced
a collapse that perfectly imitated the kind of controlled implosion that could be
performed by only
a few companies in the world they are stuck in other words with American.
Three. A third feature of Building seven is collapse would need to be classified as
a miracle if we accept the view that the building was brought down by fire this is
the fact that the building came down in absolute freefall for over two seconds
although the nine eleven truth movement has long been pointing out that this
building descended at the same rate as
a free falling object at least virtually So NIST had long denied this
as late as August two thousand and eight when NIST issued its report on Building
seven in the form of
a draft for public comment it claimed that the time it took for the floors to come
down was approximately forty percent longer than the computed freefall
time. This NIST added was consistent with
physical principles meaning consistent with the laws of physics. As
this statement implied any assertion that the building did come down in freefall
would not be consistent with basic laws of physics assuming of course that
explosives were not used charm Sunder who is in charge of nearest World Trade
Center reports explained why the fact the building seven came down much slower than
freefall under sad is not at all unusual because there was structural
resistance that was provided and you had
a sequence of structural failures that had to take place everything was not
instantaneous. However.
Sunders claim was challenged by physicist David Chandler sunders forty percent
longer claim Chandler said contradicted publicly visible easily
measurable quantity. Chandler then provided
a video on the Internet showing that by measuring this publicly visible
quantity anyone understanding elementary physics could see that for
about two and
a half sack at the Excel aeration of the building is indistinguishable from
freefall. Given its usual behavior we might have expected it
simply to ignore Chandler's challenge but in its final report
NIST admitted freefall. Dividing the building's descent into three
stages nearest described the second phase as. Three fold the sand over
approximately eight stories that gravitational acceleration for approximately
two point two five seconds two and
a quarter seconds mistery by accepted Chandler's position except for
stating that the time in which the building was in free fall was only two point
two five rather than two point five rather than two and
a quarter other than two and
a half seconds trivial difference and this thereby affirmed without explicitly
admitting it that if no explosives were used the dissent of Building seven was
inconsistent with the principles of physics. Chandler
explained why saying free fall meant you achieved if there is zero resistance to
the motion. The top floor of building seven would have encountered tremendous
resistance from the steel structure of the lower forty six floors
and less that structure had been removed by explosives John cinder himself assuming
that explosives were not used had said in August that
a free fall the sound of building seven would have been impossible because
a free falling object would be one that has no structural components below it to
offer resistance but in November. NIST
stated and it final report exactly what Sunder had explained to be
impossible while continuing to insist that no explosives were used
NIST now stated that building seven came down in freefall for over two seconds
and in making that change NIST no longer used the language and this is
consistent with physical principles that phrase they had used repeatedly in the
preliminary report they canceled every one of those so they didn't they didn't
explicitly assert that what they were saying was consistent
with physics so they expire implicitly admitted that what they're now saying
is inconsistent that freefall without explosives is inconsistent with physics
so therefore NIST implicitly declared that
a miracle had happened. Before.
Miracles are also implied by the official account of the destruction of the Twin
Towers according to this account they came down because of three and only three
causes the airplane impacts which cause structural damage the ensuing fires.
Which were initially fed and spread by jet fuel and gravity. One of the
miracles implicit in this account is that although each building had two hundred
eighty seven steels the port columns two hundred forty perimeter columns and forty
seven massive core columns. And although explosives were not used to remove the
columns each building came down as NIST put it essential
e in freefall. NIST tried to explain this by saying that each
airliner took out several perimeter and core columns out its area of impact and
also created huge fires which began weakening the steel after
a period of time fifty seven fifty six minutes for the South Tower and one hundred
two minutes for the North Tower the massive top section of each building.
At and above the fire in impact floors fell down on the lower section which could
not resist
a tremendous energy released by the downward movement. So you
had the plane going in and knocking out
a hole in the building and so then you divide the building into the top part and
the lower part and the argument was then and pretty soon the top part fell
down on the lower part and that's what caused the whole building to collapse.
The. Lower section is claimed was unable to stop
or even slow the falling mass. I sometimes use the
analogy you're flying you're driving down the freeway in your little.
Sports car and you don't notice there's
a semi stopped in the freeway ahead of you and so going ninety at eighty miles an
hour you run into the back of the semi. Well of course you know what would happen
if you start pushing the semi down the freeway at eighty miles an hour.
That's exactly what they're arguing. Happened here.
This theory as Jim Hofmann has said requires us to believe that the massive steel
frames of the lower structure of the towers provided no more resistance to falling
rubble than would air. A letter to NIST by scientists stated
basic principles of engineering would dictate for example that conservation of
momentum principle would dictate that the damage steel structure be low the
collapse initiation zone would at the very least resist and
slow the downward movement of the story about. This is basic
this is. Sixth grade physics this is I think Newton you know this
is nothing fancy. There is indeed
a good chance they continued but the structural strength of the steel work below
would
a rest that is stop the downward movement of the stories above all together. In
claiming therefore that each of the Twin Towers came down essential ie in freefall
without the aid of explosives NIST implied enormous violations of the
conservation of momentum the descent of each of the Twin Towers in close to
freefall was there for America.
Five. Each of the Twin Towers produce still another miracle.
But collapse of each tower began with
a massive explosion near the top during which huge sections of
perimeter columns were rejected five hundred to six hundred
feet. Some of these sections of steel implanted themselves in neighboring
buildings as can be seen in videos and photographs.
Enormous force would have been needed to eat jacked huge sections of steel that
far out what could have produced this horse According to
NIST as we have seen there were only three causal factors the airplane impacts
the fires and gravity. The airplane impacts could not have produced the
objections because those impacts had occurred an hour or more
earlier the horizontal ejections could not have been produced by gravity
because gravity pulls things straight down so the objections must have been
produced by fire. And certainly fire could produced
horizontally Jackson's by causing jet fuel to explode but the judge fuel as NIST
itself pointed out had burned up within
a few minutes so what could have happened an hour or more later.
Explosives such as R.D.X.
Or nano thermite could explain these horizontal ejections. According to news
however explosives did not contribute to the destruction of the Twin Towers
these horizontally Jackson's therefore must be regarded as constituting yet another
miracle six. More years in Perry probably
did not think of the fires in the World Trade Center as having miraculous powers.
But knew that count implies they did three professors were stir
Polytechnic Institute issued a report about
a piece of steel recovered from buildings and debris stating that it had
undergone interior granular melting. And expanded version of this report
which contained a description of a similarly
a road it piece of steel from one of the Twin Towers was included as an appendix
to the first official report on the destruction of the World Trade Center which was
issued by Fema in two thousand and two. A New York Times story noting that
parts of those pieces of steel had melted away even though no
fire in any of the buildings was believed to be hot enough to melt steel outright.
This story said that these discoveries constituted perhaps the greatest mystery
uncovered in the investigation. An article and
were. Magazine entitled The deep mystery of melted steel
said. Steel which has
a melting point twenty eight hundred degrees Fahrenheit. May weaken
and banned but does not melt during an ordinary office fire yet
a one inch column was reduced to half fans thickness its edges which are
curled up like
a paper scroll have been thin to zero most razor sharp missed gaping holes
some larger than a silver dollar lets light shine through
a formally solid steel flange this Swiss cheese appearance
shocked all of the fire wise professors who expected to see distortion and
binning but not holes one of these professors said that the steel
appeared to have been partly evaporated in extraordinarily high temperatures.
But the steel had actually evaporated not merely melted was also reported by
a University of California professor speaking of
a horizontal I beam from building seven he said
parts of the flat top of the I once five eighths of an inch thick
had they just. The melting point of steel is twenty eight hundred degrees
Fahrenheit and the boiling point is approximately five thousand degrees
Fahrenheit. But new said that the fires were ordinary hydrocarbon based
building fires the maximum temperature of which would be eighteen hundred.
Degrees farenheit. If Morrison Perry accept the official story about the World
Trade Center buildings they must believe that these fires had miraculous powers.
Further evidence of these miraculous powers was found by the R.J.
League Group A scientific research organization that was hired by
a bank to prove for insurance purposes that the dust contaminating its buildings
after nine eleven had resulted from the destruction of the World Trade Center the
R.J.
Lead group showed that the dust in the bank shared the unique chemical signature
of the World Trade Center dust in general part of which was spirital iron
particles the existence of these particles R.J.
Lee said prove that iron had melted during the World Trade Center event
and yet the melting point of iron is as we've seen twenty eight hundred degrees
Fahrenheit whereas ordinary building fires could not have exceeded eighteen hundred
degrees Fahrenheit. The U.S.
Geological Survey So here we have
a government agency made an even more astounding discovery that
Mollett dean of the melting point of which is four thousand
seven hundred and fifty three degrees Fahrenheit had also melted
all of D.N.A.
Most known. Metal with about the highest. Melting Point.
So if more than Piri reaffirm the official story they must assume that the World
Trade Center fires and miraculous powers. More is in Kerry
have not of course explicitly endorsed miracles in fact they would
surely deny the destruction of the World Trade Center involved in any miracles but
in so far as they accept the official account. Their views of the six phenomena I
have discussed violate principles of physics so these phenomena would have to be
classified as miracles why would more years and Perry accept the official
account even though it implies miracles one answer might be that they like many
other journalists have accepted the official view out of fear for their reputations
but more years than Piri have repeatedly shown the FE have the courage to stand up
for truth as they see it regardless of the consequences.
And that's the point of
a large large part of the point of the stories I was telling you about them. So why
did Perry who was wrongly charged with making baseless accusations about the
October surprise. Why did he wrongly charge truth with making
unsubstantiated and bizarre claims about controlled demolitions as
we have seen there is nothing to the stand she hated about the claims that the twin
towers and building seven were brought down by means of explosives Perry claims
that scientists and engineers have provided plausible explanations for the official
view. But only
a handful of scientists and engineers have stated in print that they see nothing
wrong with the official view and most of them have been depended upon the
government remember here Upton Sinclair's famous dictum it is
difficult to get
a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it
. By contrast thousands of professionals including architects
engineers firefighters intelligence officers military officers and scientists have
publicly stated that the official view cannot be true. I mentioned
firefighters. One hundred eighteen of the five hundred members of the
New York. Fire department. Were asked to give oral histories
to to give their reports of what they experienced that day they were not asked
question who just told to tell us what you experienced that day no leading
questions. One hundred eighteen of them volunteered the
information and. They experienced what seemed to be explosives
and in the buildings. Perry has unfairly been called
a nut because of his persistence in laying out the evidence for the October
surprise Why did he on the basis of an adequate study turn around and say
to label the truth or
a version of the nine eleven events nobody would seen an understatement.
Maurier's has done equally poor reporting about nine eleven observing that America
seems more and more able to deal with reality more is rightly said in his two
hundred and eleven lecture that many people inhabit
a closed belief system on whose door they have hung the Do Not Disturb
sign. But more is own belief system has evidently made him unable to deal with the
reality revealed by the nine eleven truth movement more is biased against nine
eleven Truth Movement was manifested three years before his two thousand and eleven
statement on feb one two thousand and eight in preparation for the presidential
election the Bill Moyers Journal asked viewers what one book
do you want your next president to read the next week Moyers named the three books
receiving the most votes while adding We detected only one organized campaign
against a certain book and we disqualified it as
a result the book in question viewers learned the following week with my two
thousand and seven book Debunking nine eleven the bunking which was the book that
actually received the most votes by far. Was the alleged
organized campaign the real reason why this book was disqualified it would seem not
for three reasons first more years had not in explaining the contest
said anything about disallowing organized campaigns. In the second place
the so-called organized campaign consisted entirely of one person writing
a statement on nine eleven blogger saying that he suspected most members of the
nine eleven truth movement would be recommending one of Griffin's books he
suggested that they agree on one of them and he suggested the most recent book
Debunking nine eleven debunking I myself played no role in this campaign
indeed I did not even know about the contest until it was long over in the third
place one of the book authors cam Michaels organized
a campaign on behalf of his own book The Art of War On his
website he wrote Bill Moyers is asking viewers to recommend the one book
that the next president of the United States should take to the White House if you
feel so inclined please recommend the art of non-war as
a result Michael's book came in third in the voting.
Fact That was just used by the publisher to promote the book
however the Bill Moyers Journal did not eliminate Michael's book from the
competition in spite of his self organized campaign and justifying the
exclusion of my book because of signs of an orchestrated campaign more years said I
wouldn't call that
a conspiracy but I wouldn't call it fair either but if unfairness was the reason
why my book was excluded the Michael's book the campaign for which could have
easily been detected should have been excluded. It would seem therefore
that my book was excluded because Bill Moyers did not want to announce that his
program had recommended my book with its claim that nine eleven was an inside job.
By taking more years treatment of my book in two thousand and eight together with
his two thousand and eleven attack on truth others we can see that he like Perry
has made charges against the nine eleven Truth Movement that are not justified by
the empirical evidence I have yet another question for more years and Perry given
their negative characterization of people they call truth. So it is more your
statement that they employ Sophos story and Perry's charge that they have
preponderous notions one would assume that none of their steamed
friends would have anything good to say about such people but one of more years
most esteemed France was William Sloane Coffin who after leaving the CIA became
famous as a preacher and anti Vietnam war activist and
a leader of the civil rights movement more years interviewed coffin in two thousand
and four and then spoke at his funeral in two thousand and six shortly before his
death coffin wrote all Americans who love their country enough to dig into the
facts of these critical times will be well rewarded by examining Professor
Griffin's books nine eleven Truth is
a very important issue with the power to bring lasting change to our country.
Another Moyers
a steamed friends whom interviewed is Joseph Huff who at the time was the president
of Union Theological Seminary throwed
a blurb for my first nine eleven book saying that it ought to be read by any
American who values democracy. One of Perry's esteemed friends Israeli government
who has the CIA analyst prepared the president's daily brief for three presidents
and more recently founded veteran intelligent Professionals for Sanity McGovern
wrote endorsements for two of my nine eleven books saying about one of them that he
hoped to readers did not prefer the comfort of acquiescing to the official version
of nine eleven and the imperial wars that it is still
a tainted How would more years and Perry reconcile comments by these
schemed friends with their negative treatment of truth hers I do
not know but can we at least understand why more years and Piri develop
such hostility to the nine eleven truth movement. Might the explanation be that the
spin machine has been slow effective in presenting the nine eleven Truth Movement
as kooky that Moyers and Perry simply accepted this view and never seriously looked
at the best evidence I suspect that this is part of the evidence.
Although Perry charged truth or as with being guilty of anti empiricism it is
Piri and. More years who have violated the need for empiricism about nine
eleven for which I called incidentally in the lecture I gave in Seattle in two
thousand and seven nine eleven let's get Pyrrhic. However whereas
more years and Piri anti empiricism about nine eleven is probably due in part to
the spin machine this surely cannot be the whole answer period Moyer's both know
how effective the spin machine can be with regard to any charge that would put the
government in
a bad light so they would know the need to get behind the spin by examining the
best evidence for the issue at hand so why did they not do this with regard to nine
eleven. For many journalists and other people the answer would be what I have
called nationalist faith the mythical belief that the American government would
never deliberately do anything terribly evil but Perry and Moyers have both
reported stories that contradict the biggest myth we can distinguish between the
kinds of evils they have reported and the type of enormous evil to which
Hitler alluded in his discussion of the big lie and which he said.
Ordinary people more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie since
they themselves often tell small lives in little matters but would be ashamed to
resort to large scale falsehoods it would never come into their heads
to fabricate colossal untruth and they would not believe that others would have the
impudence to distort the truth so in famously.
I suspect that although Maurier's and Perry have been more than willing
than most American journalists to expose ugly truths about American political and
military leaders they drew the line at nine eleven. For American political leaders
to have planned nine eleven they felt would have been so evil
and the resulting loss I would have been so colossal that they could not believe
that any American politicians even Bush and Cheney would have done
it the very idea that nine eleven could have been an inside job Kerry said is
preposterous. Any right thinking person would know this and so one
could know the claim of the truth to be faults without delving into their arguments
one can know all priori they seem to think the falsity of their claim that
explosives brought down the Twin Towers and buildings that. One does not need to
know why the buildings came down to know that they were not brought down by
explosives because explosives would mean that it was an inside job and this idea is
preposterous. The truth or is are so obviously wrong from their point of view
that it is not necessary to study their writings the truth about nine eleven is
provided by the NIST reports and the Popular Mechanics books both of which Perry
recommended. Perhaps David Ray Griffin wrote
a book criticizing Popular Mechanics and the NIST report on the Twin Towers and
another entire book on building seven. More years and Perry could know
without reading them that these books could be safely ignored.
Perhaps more years and Piri are now aware that the nine eleven Truth Movement
contains hundreds of architects engineers lawyers and scientists but the very fact
that these people have become truth show that something must be wrong with their
thought processes. This is my answer to the question why do Bill
Moyers and Robert Perry endorse the official story about nine eleven
even though this story implies that math the miracles occurred
on nine eleven Perry and more years have fallen for the big lie
whereas they would usually as Norman Solomon said about Perry follow the trail of
truth wherever it leads more than Perry did not follow the trail of truth laid down
by the nine eleven truth movement whereas Perry said that journalists should not
accept pain Lee reasoning he in Moyers accepted Miss Peyton Lee
absurd claims about the twin towers and building seven. Perry said that
time spent on nine eleven means that real crimes get neglected.
But nine eleven is the biggest crime in American history.
Perry said Consortium News dot com. He started it
because he feared that the decline of the US press corps foreshadowed disasters
that would come when journalists failed to alert the public about impending dangers
but Perry has not used Consortium News to inform the public about the dangers that
will continue to grow every year that the truth about nine eleven is not exposed
Perry rightly said that the fight for honest information is
a battle for the future of American democracy and Moyer said that he and Bill
Kaufman agreed a few years ago that democracy read reached
a fork in the road one fork it is which leads to an America where military power
serves in Pyar rather than freedom but nothing has promoted American
imperialism and distorted American democracy more than the Big Lie about
nine eleven an example of this big lie at work I have suggested is that even
Bill Moyers and Robert Perry two of our best journalists fell for it
one of the next steps for the nine eleven Truth Movement I propose. Is to focus on
the relatively small number of journalists who are both in this country who are
both honest and courageous trying to help them starting with more years and Perrie
themselves to see that the nine eleven Big Law is indeed
a law I thank you very much.
Through
us.
Through.
